 Looking For General Ideas
Looking for General Ideas
identify general ideas that include
aspects that are the focus of the
foothold. Mertler (2009:47)
describes the scope of general ideas
that are the focus of studies in
action research, namely:
(1) classroom environment; (2)
instructionalmaterials;
(3) classroom management;
(4) instructional method; (5) the
relationship of human
growth patterns to education; (6)
grading and evaluation; dan (7)
conferencing
In selecting a general idea or
focus area of ​action research,
it is necessary to consider
several important criteria.
Sagor (2005) provides three
main criteria, namely:
Focus on actions related to the
researcher's area of ​expertise;
• Aims for performance
improvement; and
• Focus on issues of great
importance to the researcher
 Preliminary Consideretio
Preliminary Considerations
Mertler (2004) mentions several
parameters that are a major
consideration in
choose a research project topic,
namely:
(1) personal interest,
(2) importance,
(3) amount of time, (4) difficulty
of investigating,
(5) monetary costs;
(6) research ethics
Some pointers need to be considered, as said by
Koshy (2005), there are several things that must
be done to maintain the ethics of action
research, namely:
(1) always ask for permission from participants:
. (2) provide a copy of the ethical guidelines for
participants
. (3) explain the purpose of the study
(4) keep participants' names and identities
secret
. (5) share information with colleagues and
others
others so that they can respond
on what is interpreted; •
(6) researchers have sensitivity to
feelings and perceptions of parents and
participants
educate
. 7) when researching sensitive social issues
trying hard to tell
to participants
 Research Area Topic Restriction

Limiting the topic means narrowing and clarifying the context

of the conversation. To simplify the restriction process, images,
charts or other visualization methods can be used. By limiting
the topic, it has also determined the purpose of writing. The
purpose of writing here is defined as a kind of pattern that
controls the writing as a whole.
After selecting and re-evaluating the topic
interesting to research, the next step necessary
done among other things to limit the size, area,
or the field of work of the topic to be studied.
 Initial information Search

reconnaissance is taking time to reflect on your own

beliefs and to understand the nature and context of
your general idea. That is, seeking preliminary
information is taking the time to reflect on one's own
beliefs and to understand the nature and context of
general ideas. According to Mills, there are three forms
of initial information seeking, namely self-reflection,
description, and explanation.
